Questions to the First Minister
Thank you very much for your response, First Minister. It's promising to see, despite your response, that waiting times have slowly started to move in the right direction in some ways in the past two months, particularly against cancer targets. But…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Diolch, Deputy Llywydd, and I'm pleased to be opening this debate today, although I regret the fact that we are compelled to do so. Having worked for the NHS within Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for 11 years, I am proud of the work undertaken during…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Access to bus services is vital for people in the Vale of Clwyd in getting from A to B and supporting the local economy. Something that has severely hampered that in my constituency is the Welsh Government's default 20 mph policy, as Arriva Buses…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Allied Health Professionals
Just one final one, thank you. Are there any other key barriers to delivering PCC for AHPs and what steps should be taken to overcome these? Are they logistical issues, maybe some stories on the ground, if you like, on the front line of care? Are there any…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Allied Health Professionals
Thank you very much. Your evidence and panels earlier today and in the past have alluded to the need for people to be cared for at home and in the local community, and, if possible, to stay out of hospital. So, can you provide specific examples of the way in…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Allied Health Professionals
Thank you, Chair. Good morning, everybody. What role can AHPs play in delivering person-centred care for people with chronic conditions? That's to both of you.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
Okay. Thank you, Chair. Your written paper says that the standard 10-minute GP appointment is insufficient to build meaningful relationships, particularly with patients with the multiple chronic conditions we've spoken about. What changes do we need, as the…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
Thanks. Just finally to Dr Williams, could you expand a little bit more on the patient booklet, or the red book, found in paediatrics, as you referred to in the paper, just to give us some more information on the details of that?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
And we hear as a committee—most recently from Public Health Wales and others across the period of this Senedd—of pockets of excellent service in different minutiae of Wales, possibly. How can we best learn from good practice and spread that good practice…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
Yes. That's good to hear from a patient perspective, about empowering patients, and I fully agree with that. But, in terms of specialities and different healthcare professions, how can that be done within the workforce? You mentioned digital as well. Is there…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
Thank you very much, Chair, and good morning everybody. I want to cover managing multiple chronic conditions, if I may, and healthcare, as we've heard many times over the years, operates in silos, traditionally. How can we improve communication and…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing supply
Thank you, Jenny. I'm just wondering if you could clarify your comments on private landlords because, like anything in life, you've got good landlords and bad landlords, but you seem to be tarring them all with the same brush and demonising some good people…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Housing supply

Debate: The Draft Budget 2024-25
Thank you. Facing this dismal year ahead, perhaps people can raise their spirits and remedy all of this negativity with a theatre production, or going to see the mid-Wales orchestra, but I'm afraid these have all been completely defunded too. And what are…

Debate: The Draft Budget 2024-25
Yes. Cutting business rate relief to 40 per cent will be a fatal blow to many small high-street businesses, but rest assured, this will help out the large online retailers and large multinational co-operations who do not have to pay this tax. Facing this…
